The $5 Bin Podcast

Part two of what we all watched during the pandemic.  Enjoy!

We're back!  After a lengthy vacation, The Five Dollar Bin Podcast has returned.  First up, we tackle part one of what we all watched during the last year of the pandemic.

It's been a while, but we're back with a vengeance...or maybe it's just a Death Wish (see what I did there).  In this episode, the gang dives into their lack of the Death Wish cinematic universe and also wonder where Bruce Willis and Elizabeth Shue's careers go from here.

In this episode, we tackle Disney's First Kid starring Sinbad and a bunch of other people no one really remembers.  Amber says, "It's worth the $2.99 rental fee on Amazon."  If that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is!

It's time again for our annual awards show where we give awards to movies you've ACTUALLY seen!!!  Jeff, Amber and Erik give out awards for best movie, worst movie, biggest surprise, biggest disappointment, and many more!  

Merry Christmas!  This year, we decided to gift wrap an especially terrible movie for you. So..you're welcome?  As always, it's Eriks fault.  

On this episode, we kick off the holiday season 2018 with Jingle All The Way.  Arnold impressions makes a return to the podcast as well as somehow remembering this movie fondly...boy were we wrong!

This month, we give a special shout out to all of you spending this Thanksgiving holiday...solo with "Solo : A Star Wars Story."  

This years Halloween Spook-tacular contains a "gem" from the 1980's.  In this episode, we dive into what could be described as the source material for the failed Dark Universe that Universal was trying to jump start.  Does Monster Squad live up to #SquadGoals, or does it fall flat on its face?  Find out what the crew thinks in this episode of The $5 Bin Podcast!

This week, the gang takes on the 1981 sci-fi classic "Escape From New York."  Jeff and Erik also conclude that this was the birth of Captain Ron.  Guess you've got to get these movies 'custom made!"

This episode, we celebrate 1982 by watching the original Conan.  Spoiler alert: this movie doesn't hold us well and MAY wind up as someones new "Worst Movie."

In this episode, the gang takes on Europa Studios latest offering.  We've collectively decided that Europa is the 2018 version of Cannon Films.  They are the gift that keeps on giving.

In this episode, the gang discusses what kind of acccent Matt Damon uses for this film and also how to fix this huge disaster of a movie.  It would be a lot easier that you think...

We continue our "Tripping Our Way Up The Oscars" theme by doing a movie we thought starred Tom Hanks.  Apparently he didn't get the memo that he was supposed to be on set for more than two days.  The good thing is that we discover that this movie fits right into our wheelhouse of "What Is It?"  We try to break it down shortly before Jeff breaks down...just listen and you'll understand... 

This week, we kick off our annual "Tripping Our Way Up The Oscars."  Our first movie is 2016's "Magnificent Seven" starring Denzel, Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke.  We talk about the present state of the western genre and also what makes this movie work.

This week, we finally release our review of "The Last Jedi."  We thought that letting it simmer for a month and thinking about it would make it better...it doesn't.

It's that time again!  Time to hand out some awards for the best and worst movies and performances of 2017!  As always, we miss a few movies here and there, but we aim to see as many of the "top grossing" and "lowest rated" movies of the year.  

It's an annual holiday tradition around here to review bad CHristmas movies.  This year is no different.  We review The Santa Clause 3.  It stars Tim Allen and Martin Short, what could go wrong?  Well...everything in this movie.  

This week, we tackle one of the few movies that takes place over the Thanksgiving holiday.  It is also one of the most incoherent movies that we have ever reviewed.  Will it be someone's "worst ever?"  find out on this weeks episode!

This week, we wrap up the Spook-tacular with andother Tim Burton...classic?  We review 1988's Beetlejuice starring younger versions of Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis and Michael Keaton happens to appear as the title character for a few minutes.

This week, we kick off our annual Halloween Spook-tacular!  Since we are wimps, we chose a less "scary" movie and ventured into the weird and strange world of Tim Burton.  Even though we're wimps, you might be suprised how we rated this film.  Enjoy!

In this episode, the gang reminisces about their teenage years and looks back fondly on a disaster movie that cam out around that time.  Then, they watched ID4:2 and realize that it's not a disaster movie...it's a disaster OF A movie.   

We're back!  After taking the summer off, we've decided to tackle some follow ups to actual summer blockbusters.  This episode, we talk about the often forgotten Jurassic Park 3.  Its the return of Sam Neil to an island he was never on.  Confused?  So is everyone else who has ever seen this film.  Enjoy!

In honor of Wonder Woman doing well at the box office, we present to you the DC Universe's previous offering...Suicide Squad.  Depending on who you ask, this movie was either good or really bad...it also may depend on how many cocktails you had prior to the question.  We'll try not to trip on the bar that Batman V Superman laid out for us.

This week, we kick off a series of comic book movies.  First up, we'll summon a demon from another demention and have him fight other demons that look like rejected ideas from Pan's Labyrinth.  It's Hellboy directed by Guillermo del Toro so you know it's gonna be all kinds of weird.

We finish up the "madness" with "Glory Road."  It's a story about sports and race.  It's a lot like "Remember the Titans" or "The Blind Side" only...it's not very good and it came out immediately after a similar movie called "Coach Carter."  Basically, this movie didn't really get a chance, but this week, we'll give it it's 15 minutes of fame as we review 2006's "Glory Road."

This week, we review "Hoovey."  That's "Hoovey" not "Hoosiers."  If you've never heard of the movie, you're among the VAST majority.  But, if you've searched "basketball" on Netflix, this one seems to pop up for some reason.  We sat through this one and weren't happy about it, but we can blame Amber.  Erik is in the clear...at least for this episode.

This week, we tackle a listener request!  We love our listeners so, we're happy to take on this challenge!  In this episode, the gang watched 1999's "Mystery Men."  If you are really annoyed by the Smash Mouth song "All Star," this movie is the patient zero for that one hit wonder.  Enjoy!

This week we wrap up our Pauly Shore mini-marathon with "Son-In-Law."  After "Encino Man," the bar was set so high for this movie, Pauly tripped over it.  Dianey was hoping they hitched their wagon to the right train, but that Pauly Shore train quickly derailed and this movie can be seen regularly on CMT.  Why?  Because...farms?  Enjoy!

This week, we kick off a Pauly Shore mini marathon.  First off, we'll take on his debut in "Encino Man."  Pauly may not be your favorite actor, but he IS an award winning actor...granted that award is a Razzie, but that's a Razzie more than you have.  Enjoy!

It's that time of year again!  That time  when we hand out some awards for movies released in 2016.  We review the good, the bad, and the God awful.  See who won and who lost...by winning our worst of the year!

Ever want to know the REAL story of Santa Claus?  Well, this movie attempted to tell us just that...and failed miserably.  One of us LOVES this movie and watches it every Christmas.  One of us found a lot of flaws in this very outdated and clunky film.  Whether you love or hate this movie, or maybe you've never even seen it before, you'll enjoy us ripping it a part!

We're kicking off the holiday season with a beloved franchise.  This week, we watched Home Alone...no, not the univerally treasured first film...no, not even the widely adored second film.  We watched the the third film in the franchise (There's a fourth so stay tuned next Christmas) that no one has seen, unless you accidentally bought the combo pack at your local big box store.  Leave it to Erik to pick the aweful movies...

This week, we wrap up our month of cinematic presidents with Air Force One.  Harrison Ford has had some pretty iconic roles and memorable dialogue, but "Get off my plane" ranks pretty high on any list of memorable movie quotes.  We also kick around our favorite on screen presidents.  There are so many to choose from, there's sure to be some debate!

Hail to the Chief!  We're kicking off a very special "Month of Presidents!"  There are so many great examples of cinematic presidents, but we didn't choose any of those...  He's our review of "Dave."

Happy Halloween!  Let's watch a "children's movie" about witches that want to steal the souls of children and where a little girl dies in the first 5 minutes!  Seriously!  This is a "children's movie."  Up next on Disney Junior...The Walking Dead!!!

This week, the gang tackles the fifth sequel in the Tremors franchise.  We wanted to do a "scary" movie to kick off this years Halloween Spook-tacular.  We chose this movie and it ended up just being horrifyingly...bad.  Just listen, you'll see.

Why?  Why on earth would we do this movie?!?!?!  Oh yeah...Erik...  Well, it's our Charlie's Angels episode.  Do you like women in skimpy outfits defying gravity and performing kung fu moves only seen in video games?  For the two people into that...THIS is your film.  For the rest of you, we review this money grab from the year 2000.  Oh and remember when Tom Green was a "thing?"  This movie is evidence of his 15 minutes of fame.

We're back from our summer vacation!  I know you missed us!  We're kicking off our 3rd season with a special month of movies that set the women liberation movement back about 100 years.  Keep in mind, this was Amber's idea.  We start off with Catwoman; a movie about Halley Berry fighting crime in a tight leather jumpsuit.  This movie has no plot, terrible acting and no basic premise for existing other than the tight leather jumpsuit.  Enjoy listening to us rip it a part!

We were going to take all of August off before kicking off a new season, but decided to throw in an episode from our "archives."  We recorded this over 2 years ago, LONG before we went live.  We've gotten better since this recording, but hopefully it will tide you over 'til our September 2016 themed month.  Enjoy!

This week, we celebrate being half way done with 2016.  We'll talk about movies we've seen, movies we can't wait to see, and movies we know we'll HAVE to see in order to give out "Worst Performance" and "Worst Movie" awards at the end of the year.  It's our annual "Half Way Through" show!

We're turning 50!!!!!!  Well, 50 episodes that is.  It's been two years of podcasting here at The $5 Bin Podcast and we're celebrating with one of our personal favorites...Masters of the Universe!  We'll also talk about some of our favorite episodes, some of our least favorite movies and a little bit of what the future holds for the podcast.  So, sit back, relax, crack open a cold one and celebrate with us!

After a month of Superhero movies, we decided to do a children's movie.  I should say...a "children's movie."  See what I did there with the "quotes?"  How on earth this passes for a "children's movie" I'll never know.  But, that's how it was marketed...a movie for kid's!  Tell you what, you watch it and you decide.  Better yet, DON'T watch it and just listen to our review of "Kangaroo Jack."

This week, we wrap up Superhero Month in a pretty bow...with an ugly movie.  This would be the movie that took two films to undo...TWO!!!  With the release of the new X-Men film, we thought we should look back on this horrible excuse for a movie that almost killed a franchise.  Why watch a good X-Men movie when you can watch a bad one?

This week, we find ourselves in the middle of "Superhero Month" and in the clutches of serial $5 Bin actor Nick Cage.  It was this or the original Ghost Rider.  We figured that we go with the movie that allowed him to be more "Nick Cage-ier" than the original.  We feel we made the right choice!  "High Praise!"

This week, we kick off "Superhero Month" with a movie that never saw a theater, but has seen a lot of play on YouTube.  We're watching the unreleased 1990 version of Captain America.  What is with us and "unreleased" movies.  

We're headed back to the genre of "Rom-Com's" and wound up with a JLo flick.  It's her first appearance on the podcast and most likely won't be her last.  The best thing this movie has going for it is that it's not titled "Gili."  So...there's that... Enjoy!

This week, we review first time offender Val Kilmer and second time offender Elizabeth Shue's political action movie "The Saint."  Do you like a lot of action?  Do you like a lot of intrigue?  Do you appreciate Val Kilmer's acting range?  Well, you won't find it in this movie, but you will find a lot of talk about "cold fusion"...whatever that is...  

We got more than a few requests to cover Netflix's "Fuller House," so here it is!  We couldn't get Erik to watch every episode, but I'm sure he'll be happy to know that it's what they are currently showing on a continuous loop to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Why God?!?!? Why are we doing this movie?!?!?  I blame Erik...we all blame Erik.  That being said, because it's a horrible movie, you'd better believe we'll have a lot to say about it!  Also, they are making three more of these...THREE!!!!  Unfortunately, this probably one be the last one in this franchise that we cover.  So, buckle up and hang on!  We're doing 2 Fast 2 Furious!

We're going back to our high school days to a movie that...defined a generation?  Probably not, but we remember seeing this movie.  Some of us actually paid our hard earned paper route money to take a date to see this.  Find out who in this weeks episode...it's most likely Erik...
